When we want to share a form we make a partial of it: app/views/users/_fields.html.erb
<%= f.label :name %> <br /> <%= f.text_field :name %> <br /> <%= f.label :password %> <br /> <%= f.password_field :password %> and then we implement the code: app/views/users/new.html.erb <%= form_for(@user) do |f| %> <%= render 'fields', :f => f %> <%= f.submit "Submit" %> <% end %> in the case of a shared error messaging system: app/views/shared/_error_messages.html.erb <% if object.errors.any> %> <%= pluralize(object.errors.count, "error") %> are present. And those are : <br /> <ul> <% object.errors.full_messages.each do |msg| %> <li> <%= msg %> </li> <% end %> </ul> <% end %> and we pass the render code: <%= render 'shared/error_messages', :object => f.object %> inside the form_for helper My question is why in the case of error_messages partial we pass the f.object and not just f since f is the object itself and in the case of field partian (that holds the form) we pass just f ? Wouldnt it work if we wrote <%= render 'shared/ error_messages', :object => f %> ? what is the difference? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
